Episode Notes
Personal trainer and strength coach Rob Ventre joins the gang for a discussion of America’s attitudes, practices, and misconceptions about the fitness universe—and JUST in time for us to connect it all to those all-too-popular weight loss and muscle gain New Year’s Resolutions. From “sick gains” to “snake weights,” from “Liftr” to the value of discomfort, Ventre and the guys power through the bull and flex their mighty…intellects!
BUT FIRST!
We greet 2018 with all the hope and joy we can muster, sharing tales of wounded Whoodles, casual board gaming, and antisocial tendencies!
AND IN THE SPEED ROUND…
Shaun is tempted by the softer, sillier world of My Little Pony, Phil’s got his eyes on the prize in the skies, Dave pines for the days of his favorite-but-sadly-defunct Youtube channel, and Mr. Ventre breaks brains with some controversial comments about mainsplaining!
